Is AC 70 overkill for my well stocked 29 gallon?

0

Hello there. I have a question for those who know about filters. I currently run the aqua clear 50 AND aqua tech 5-15 on my 29 gallon. I find with the AC 50 it is not enough. So I went and bought the aqua clear 70 because I just want one filter and less cords things etc. So do you think it is overkill? The filter looks HUGE.
Basically I was filtering about 300 GPH with my other 2 combined I think.......

Thanks. I will keep it then. ;) I have one more question.....
Aqua advisor says I am overstocked by one rosy barb, is this cause for concern? I am very anal about water changes, I do them once per week. And how big do rosy barbs get a maturity? Mind are not fully grown yet, although my Gold barbs seem to be. They are about 2 and a half inches.

Gas mileage isn't everythingOIIIIIIIOLack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.Why pretend there are no stupid questions? Actually, There are many stupid questions: "Should I drink this bleach?" Is just one example.
Having said that, Just because it's a stupid question doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked. It's better to know.A warm beer is better than a cold beer. Because nothing is better than a cold beer, and a warm beer is better than nothing.
